IED ENVELOPE



Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) "Mother of Satan"

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly unstable explosive prone to unintended detonation. Yet terrorists, such as those responsible for the March 22 bombings in Brussels and the November 2015 attacks in Paris, are increasingly using the compound to inflict carnage....
Acetone Peroxide is known as "Mother of Satan" because of its instability. This is a primary explosive, normally used as initiators. Storage of this chemical should be done with great care and in a cool, dark, and dry location. It is sensitive to shock, flame, or abrasion.
Materials
Hydrogen Peroxide
Acetone
Sulfuric Acid
Eye Dropper
Graduated Cylinder
Thermometer
Ice
NaCl (Salt)
Method
Add 30 ml acetone and 50 ml hydrogen peroxide into glass container and mix.
Cool the mixture in an ice/salt bath
Cool mixture to 5°C
While stirring, add dropwise 2.5 ml sulfuric acid, making sure temperature stays around 5°C and never above 10°C
Stir for 5 minutes after all the sulfuric acid is added
Cool mixture in some kind of ice bath or box for 12-24 hours.
Filter out the precipitate (white crystals) using paper towels or filter paper
Wash the crystals using small amounts of ice cold water, handling the crystals gently
Allow crystals to dry, store for use in a cool, dry, dark location.
*Note: Acetone peroxide is viable for aproximately 7 days after creation.
